Writer Lee Hall and director Marcello Magni (co-founder of the Theatre de Complicite) rework Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio in slapstick commedia dell'arte style which should appeal to all ages.A hilarious dramatisation of a classic children's story Since it first appeared in 1883, Carlo Collodi's classic tale of the mischievous puppet who becomes a boy has enchanted readers of all ages. Now dramatised by Lee Hall (acclaimed writer of Billy Elliot, Spoonface Steinberg and Cooking with Elvis) Pinocchio's hilarious and treacherous journey through childhood comes alive in the spirit of the Italian commedia dell'arte and good old-fashioned slapstick. The Adventures of Pinocchio, directed by Marcello Magni, premiered at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith in November 2000.
